No. 1,921.-The Path of Paths.
All must climb this rugged path,
Scale rocky, weather-beRten walls;
Stand all alone, as many hath,
And hear the voice of sin that calls:
"Turn from the ways of righteous men,
Seek refuge in the gamblers den."
When this journey is completed,
Good ana bad togther die;
Every person has competed,
And the bad must heaye q sigh
For being led so far astray
To take the wrong path day by day.
Too latel too late! the wicked
See they travel the wrong road;
And ever more they journey on
Trembling beneath the load
Upon their shoulders tired and sore
But on they stumble, evermore.

The pastors Of the Evangelical Alliance
of st. Louis have made a report, copies Of
which are to be distributed among the local
churches, urging reform in funerals. The
object is to confine, as far as possible, the
funeral services to the homes of the de-
ceased; after which friends and acquaint-
ances are to be dismissed and the remains
accompanied to the cemetry only by the
undertaken and members of the family.
This plan has been tried successfully in
several large cities in this country, and is
the rule in most cities abroad.
